As for the losses... a mere experimental base meant little to Nie Yun now that he had money to burn. He could just have the Mechanical Insects work some overtime later.
Mechanical Insects: "..."
Continuing farther inside, the three of them passed all sorts of bizarre experiments and finished a general tour of the research department without disturbing anyone else.
"Good! The Research Team is highly enthusiastic about its work. Now it's time to give you a new research topic," Nie Yun told Elder Yu.
"A new research topic?" Elder Yu's eyes lit up.
Nie Yun usually assigned minor research topics to the research department through Codename. Any "topic" their boss brought up in person was certain to be far more than a small project.
It meant not only a new field of research, but often a massive research budget as well...
